Chapter 1631: It's all about silver
To Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou's surprise, Jierharang, who should take the opportunity to take revenge, actually agreed with him at this time: "What the two scholars said is really the words of seeking the country, and this plan to kill people with a knife is breathtaking...... This king admires! ”
Fulin made a decision on the spot, "...... Prince Feng'an was the general of Xuanwei, leading 3,000 white flags and 10,000 new troops, a total of 13,000 troops to reinforce Haizhou on the same day! ”
This stroke was indeed very large for Fulin and the Qing court at this time.
The Manchu and Mongolian population has always been a constraint on the military strength of the Qing court, after gaining a firm foothold in Shuntianfu, they had to requisition the Han people to serve in the army, which made the inequality between the Manchu and Han ethnic groups, in fact, there is no soil for existence, just imagine that while asking people to go into battle and fight, while being a slave, who can bear it?
Coupled with the existence of Hanchen represented by Hong and Fan, the sharing of power has become a secret tacit understanding.
Of course, ordinary people can't enjoy it, and those who can enjoy it are naturally the elite figures of the contemporary Han people, such as Hong and Fan.
In the Qing army after entering the customs, the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners have almost become a kind of decoration.
It's not that the combat power is declining too quickly, but the number of troops is really insufficient.
Often, one or two Niu Lu were sent to the name, and then a large number of Han troops were charged, known as the Eight Banners Army.
But in fact, where are so many young people who are full of Mongolia?
It's nothing more than selling dog meat on the head of a sheep.
The Manchu people can't afford to die, even if the Manchu and Mongolian tribes can make people vigorously, one is young and strong, and it will take at least sixteen years to go into battle.
Therefore, Fu Lin has made a bloody investment this time, three thousand positive white flag banner army, which is almost forty percent of the full white flag, that is to say, if this team has an accident, after Dolgon's death, Fu Lin took the five banners in his arms, which is equivalent to going to twenty percent.
Why do you say that, because each of the eight flags is actually not the same in strength and strength.
Like the two yellow flags controlled by Emperor Taiji, the strength is naturally full, and the two white and blue flags controlled by Dolgon are second, and the remaining three flags are only four or five thousand people.
This was the main reason why the Manchus had to go east to Korea before they could officially go to war with the Ming Dynasty.
Pity the Koreans who really regarded the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain, after being personally conscripted by the emperor Taiji with an army of 200,000, they had to surrender the country, and the final price was that the prince was taken hostage, and 300,000 people were used as cannon fodder for the Manchu Qing to attack the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, when the Qing army entered the customs and went south to fight against the Qingming army and the righteous army in various places, the number of people killed in the battle was by no means a few, but the Manchu and Mongolian tribes died less, because there were 300,000 Korean cannon fodder.
"The Emperor Shengming!"
This praise did not carry any private goods, it was all sincere, because Fu Lin allowed all their advice.
Repay the peach, and praise is naturally sincere.
This is what makes the monarch and the minister get along.
……。
Outside the Fan Mansion, a group of businessmen dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes and wearing staff hats have been looking forward to it for a long time.
These old Xi'er are the epitome of businessmen in this era.
They spend a lot of money on the surface, but in fact, they are desperate to search in private.
Under the aura of rich and compelling imperial businessmen, they are actually unable to control themselves, they do have wealth, but wealth, is it really theirs?
God knows, apart from digging pits in the ground and burying them until they can't even remember how much and how long they have been buried, the wealth that belongs to them is actually not much, because those big officials in the Qing court have never shifted their eyes from their wealth.
If you take it and take it, if you have a slight difference, your family will be ruined.
Therefore, these businessmen were as well-behaved as quails outside Fan's mansion, and naturally they didn't dare to come empty-handed.
And today, it's even more extraordinary.
Behind each of them was a long cart.
On the cart, there are all vermilion lacquered solid wooden boxes with copper nails, which glow brightly in the sun...... Tsk, people know at a glance that the box on this car must be a valuable thing.
It wasn't until a moment after noon that the carriage of the two scholars slowly entered the alley.
Someone had already sprinted to inform him, so more than a dozen businessmen rushed up with red eyes, tsk, that frame, as if they were two young people.
……。
In the side hall in the southeast corner of Fan's Mansion, the merchants laughed with sycophants.
Their eyes were full of anticipation.
Yes, since the establishment of the Yixing Dynasty and the opening of Wu Zheng in Hangzhou, the north-south trade has changed too much.
The North, which was originally high above, has always been above the South.
The latest strange things are flowing from the north to the south, especially the tributes in the palace, tsk, but if you can take a look, it is the ancestor of the virtue, just like smelling the fragrance of the real dragon.
The south, on the other hand, has always been the one who pays tribute, such as grain, fabrics, and of course, the annual tribute of special products.
But now, the situation is slowly reversed.
The fabrics in the south are still being shipped to the north, but they are no longer shipped to the finished products, but the finished Han robes produced by the Weaving Division.
Between the semi-finished products and the finished products, the profit difference is huge, especially after hanging the nameplate of the Hangzhou Weaving Division, it is worth a thousand gold.
The Qing court embargo order, the Grand Canal channel is blocked, oh my God, can this business continue?
Although the south did not issue a ban like the north, as soon as the merchant ships passed Xuzhou, the water checkpoints were suddenly consumed by the original doubling of the gross profit margin of the Han robe.
Like the emperor businessmen are better, the amount of goods is large, once fed, there is a feeling, but those small businessmen are difficult, along the way to make the passage money, not to mention the profits, but also to lose money, not to make it even worse, once the crime of collaborating with the enemy, being extorted is a trivial matter, the person is not allowed to push the boat on the spot, a knife down, the head will fall into the river, the body pulled back by the family is incomplete, and you have to hire someone to fish from the river, but such a big canal, the water flow is fast, how to fish?
Most of the small businessmen rely on these big imperial businessmen on weekdays, but now that they are in trouble, they naturally have to beg for their thighs.
So, the thighs finally couldn't hold it anymore and came to "petition" in a group.
You have to give incense to the mud bodhisattva, and you have to be polite when you come to "petition", and you have to be polite to be sincere.
More than a dozen Jin merchants made a big gift of thirty board cars, hired a hundred people, and pulled them to the door of Fan's mansion.
rewarded the concierge and handed over a name sticker.
stood outside the gate of the mansion for a whole day, and it was not until night fell that Lao Fan came out of the mansion with a sentence, "I know the matter, don't be impatient, and after entering the palace tomorrow, I will know." ”
So, the merchants came and went back together, and today it was not dawn, and they waited obediently outside the gate of the house.
But when Lao Fan went to court, he came out of the main gate, and he didn't even take care of the corners of his eyes, Gu Zi got into the carriage and entered the palace.
